As reported in Bugzilla Bug 6406, resume from S3 results in a blank screen.
For the IBM Thinkpad X30 using vesafb as the console driver, successful resume
from S3 requires option acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode. Update documentation.
I would presume that, in any hardware, using vesafb as the console driver will
require as a minimum s3_mode.

When abort failed, the driver gets reset handleer called. In the reset
handler, driver calls 'scsi_done()' callback for same SCSI command packet
(struct scsi_cmnd) multiple times if there are multiple SCSI command packet
in the pend_list. More over, if there are entry in the pend_lsit with
IOCTL packet associated, the driver returns it to wrong free_list so that,
in turn, the driver could end up with 'NULL pointer dereference..' during
I/O command building with incorrect resource.
Also, the patch contains several minor/cosmetic changes besides this.

Update the schedule for the removal of drivers depending on
OBSOLETE_OSS_DRIVER as follows:
- adjust OBSOLETE_OSS_DRIVER dependencie
- from the release of 2.6.16 till the release of 2.6.17:
approx. two months for users to report problems with the ALSA
drivers for the same hardware
- after the release of 2.6.17 (and before 2.6.18):
remove the subset of drivers marked at OBSOLETE_OSS_DRIVER without
known regressions in the ALSA drivers for the same hardware
Additionally, correct some OBSOLETE_OSS_DRIVER dependencies.
A rationale of the changes is in

[PATCH] ip_output: account for fraggap when checking to add trailer_len
During other work I noticed that ip_append_data() seemed to be forgetting to

the payload. Herbert confirmed that this was a bug that snuck in during a
previous rework.

[PATCH] i2c-parport: Make type parameter mandatory
This patch forces the user to specify what type of adapter is present when
loading i2c-parport or i2c-parport-light. If none is specified, the driver
init simply fails - instead of assuming adapter type 0.
This alleviates the sometimes lengthy boot time delays which can be caused
by accidentally building one of these into a kernel along with several i2c
slave drivers that have lengthy probe routines (e.g. hwmon drivers).
Kconfig and documentation updated accordingly.

This updates the DMA API documentation to address a few issues:
- The dma_map_sg() call results are used like pci_map_sg() results:
using sg_dma_address() and sg_dma_len(). That's not wholly obvious
to folk reading _only_ the "new" DMA-API.txt writeup.
- Buffers allocated by dma_alloc_coherent() may not be completely
free of coherency concerns ... some CPUs also have write buffers
that may need to be flushed.
- Cacheline coherence issues are now mentioned as being among issues
which affect dma buffers, and complicate/prevent using of static and
(especially) stack based buffers with the DMA calls.
I don't think many drivers currently need to worry about flushing write
buffers, but I did hit it with one SOC using external SDRAM for DMA
descriptors: without explicit writebuffer flushing, the on-chip DMA
controller accessed descriptors before the CPU completed the writes.
